Frequently Asked Questions
PDF version
What is Web Bill Pay?
Web Bill Pay is a service that allows you to pay virtually anyone or any company through your online banking account. You determine who you want to pay, when you want to make the payment, and which account you want the payment to come from.
It is easy to use.
What are the benefits of Web Bill Pay?
Web Bill Pay saves you time and money versus sending payments through the mail.
Save time – It takes only minutes to pay your bills each month. You save time on trips to the post office and filing away paper receipts. Features such as recurring payments allow you to set up a schedule to pay your bills automatically.
Save money - Web Bill Pay saves you money on postage, late fees, and checks. Customers save on average $145* per year using Web Bill Pay .
Who can I pay with Web Bill Pay?
You can pay virtually any business or individual with a mailing address within the United States and Puerto Rico. For example, you can pay utilities, cable bills or credit cards or individuals such as your landlord, babysitter, or relative.
The first time you set up a payee, you will need the address where the payment will be mailed. You can find the mailing address on your most recent paper bill.
How do I start using Web Bill Pay?
Paying bills online is one of the safest and fastest ways to pay your bills. According to PayItGreen.org, 85% of identity thefts are caused by lost or stolen checkbooks, statements, or bills. The majority of payments made are electronic via secure transmission so there is no paper circulating for others to handle.
How are online payments delivered?
Payments are sent one of two ways – electronically or paper check. The majority of payments are delivered electronically. Your payment information, such as your account number, is sent via secure transmission. All other payments are made by paper check that is mailed via the U.S. Postal Service.
Will I have a separate password for the Web Bill Pay service?
No. To access Web Bill Pay requires you to sign on to CU AnyHour+ , using your CU AnyHour ID and password. Then click on the "Web Bill Pay" tab. This automatically links you to the Web Bill Pay service.
How do I get billed for using Web Bill Pay?
This service is free for members who have signed up for eStatements.
For those not receiving eStatements, the fee is deducted from your Credit Union checking account each month on the date you signed up. The amount will be the total of the $5.00 monthly fee and, if applicable, $0.49 per payment exceeding the ten payments provided with your monthly flat fee. If the specified date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Federal holiday, the fee will be deducted from your account on the next business day.
. Yes. The monthly service fee is charged just like your telephone or cable bill - whether you use the service that month or not. Members who receive eStatements must maintain this separate service to continue receiving Web Bill Pay at no charge.
You have two primary methods of contacting Web Bill Pay for assistance:
Hours of Operation: 7:30 AM-2:00 AM ET
Once enrolled and using this Web Bill Pay service you may use the email feature or access the HELP feature.
How does the payment post to my checking account and appear on my statement?
Payments may be deducted from your account in one of two ways: (1) via electronic debit through the Automated Clearing House Association (ACH); or (2) via check drawn on your account and processed through the Federal Reserve System (just like you would write a check from your checking account).
The way the payment is deducted is determined systematically based upon the operating procedures of our Web Bill Pay service provider. However, all bill payments debited from your account will appear on your monthly statement as well as in the checking detail found in CU AnyHour+.
Additionally, you can view your electronic payments at any time by viewing "Payment History" on the Web Bill Pay service.
What should I do when my address changes?
For address changes please contact us via the message center tab located in the upper right corner of CU AnyHour+. Please provide new address along with phone numbers and email address changes, if applicable.
You may also contact us by calling 202-224-2967, (800) 374-2758 if outside DC Metro area; by mail at Member Services, United States Senate Federal Credit Union, P.O. Box 404, Staunton, VA 24402-4040; by fax at 703-329-4355; or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
How do I terminate or discontinue the Web Bill Pay service?
When will funds be withdrawn from my account?
If the payment is made by check (see above) funds will be withdrawn from your USSFCU checking account once the payee negotiates the check.
If payment is sent electronically the funds will be withdrawn from your USSFCU checking account on the process date as determined by you. The process date is not necessarily the date that the bill is due. The process date is the date selected by you when you schedule the payment. When the process date is selected the system will provide an "estimated arrival date" of payment. Electronic payments typically allow one – two business days between process date and the date that the payment is estimated to be received. Payment by check typically allows three to five business days between the process date and the date that the check is estimated to be received by the payee.

After disabling the eBill for a payee and saving the change, the eBill icon indicating the payee is eBill eligible will return on the payee.

Ex. Edit an eBill Payee – Disable eBill functionality
Will there be a way for subscribers to know when an eBill has been received by their Web Bill Pay?

Subscriber Services
Short Text:
A new eBill has been posted in bill pay for %Payee.Name%. Amount due: %Amount due/or min due%. Due Date: %due date%.
If a payee is deleted and then later added again does the subscriber have to set up the eBill again for eligible payees?
Yes, the subscriber will have to complete the eBill setup process in its entirety again.
If a subscriber's eBill payee Web site is "locked", will the eBill functionality still work?
The subscriber must have their payee's Web site unlocked before the functionality will work again. This eBill payee will appear in the "Troubleshooting" section of the eBill dashboard until the subscriber unlocks the payee account. The subscriber will receive instructions when clicking on the troubleshooting link.
If a subscriber adds a new payee, is it possible for that new payee to appear as "eBill eligible" real time?
Yes, the new payee would appear in the eBill dashboard as eligible to be signed up. Also, the new payee could be viewed as eBill eligible under "View Payees".
These payments can be located, but the payment will not be identified as being an eBill.
What happens to a "Due" payment that isn't paid? Does the eBill payee go back to "Awaiting New Bill" status?
The "Due" payment will remain in this status until the next billing summary is received. At that time the payment/payee should be moved to "Received" status.
In eBill History, is the Statement Balance summary the current account balance as of today's date or is it the statement closing date?
Can a subscriber request a payee be added as an eBiller?
No. Technical constraints, usually with the billers themselves, limit our ability to add every possible biller.
The answer to all of these questions is "Yes". However, none of these actions will be identified as being an eBill; all of these actions will appear as they would have before the new eBill functionality becomes active.
When I try to enroll my payee for eBill, why do I get a message that says the service is not available?
There may be a problem with the biller's site at this time. To confirm this, the subscriber should go directly to the biller's site and attempt to login directly to that site. If the subscriber is unable to log directly into their biller site, we suggest the subscriber should wait until the biller site is once again operational and then return to our bill pay site to restart the eBill setup process.
I received my bill in the mail/electronically, but the bill pay site does not show any new eBill information?
. If the biller's Web site does not show a due date for the new bill, our system might not be able to load the new bill information onto the subscriber's bill pay site.

The My Buggy Buddy Clip is an essential piece of pram kit and the answer to every parent's prayers! It allows parents to carry bags on their prams safely and securely. The loop shaped device could not be easier to use. It simply snaps on to the pram handle and is held in place using a metal clip.
Multiple bags including shopping bags, changing bags and handbags can be strung onto the loop before the clip is locked back in place, putting an end to the frustrating and potentially dangerous practice of steering prams with one hand while holding bags with another.
Plus the foam coating ensures that the clip doesn't mark or damage your pushchair handles.

The way he sees it, it's a quintessential characteristic for his sport.
"I like to say that every runner is crazy just for running," Young said. "... and I'm a little crazy."
Young, a junior at Oxford High School, won his first race and broke the 17-minute mark this past season on his way to being named The Star's 2011 Boys Calhoun County Cross Country Runner of the Year.
Teammates Jacob Schywn, the Calhoun County meet champion, and Landon Delozier join him on the all-county team.
"He's the most talented kid, as far as pure running talent, that I've ever coached," Oxford coach Jim Presnell said. "He does some things in practice and in training that I don't know if I've ever had anyone do. Alec has a rare combination of endurance and a surprising amount of foot speed."
Young placed first in the 5th Annual Waffle House/Yellow Jacket Invitational with a time of 17.22.80 mid-October. Before that, in September, he set a personal record, running a 16:44.39 in the Scottsboro Invitational.
It's a feat he'd repeat twice more during the season. At the 20th Annual St. Vincent-Husky Challenge a couple weeks later, he ran a 16:59. 81 to place 15th. He did it again, running a 16:55.43 in the Jesse Owens Classic.
He placed 10th with a 17:03.34 in the Alabama High School Athletic Association's Class 6A, Section 2, meet and 47th overall at the Class 6A state meet with a 17.24.61.
"It's a goal of every runner to break 17 and to win a race," Young said. "But, honestly, I'm more proud of breaking 17 than I am of just winning a race. It's something that you just have to experience for yourself. It feels great."
How Young began running in the first place is a bit odd, but maybe not crazy. He was walking out of the gym toward the bus one day as a seventh-grader when he had an epiphany.
"I said, 'I should do track," he recalled. "Running doesn't seem very hard. That will be fun' … Yeah, I was wrong."
Presnell said the quest to excel as a distance runner is a 365-day-a-year commitment. Along with dedication and determination, it also takes skill and strategy. Wisely crafting an offseason training routine is just as important as any work a runner puts in during the season.
"We call it building your base," Presnell said. "You want to get your mileage in the summer so when the actual season starts, you're not saying, 'We need to get 60 miles in this week."
Young attributed his development to the instruction he's received from coach Presnell.
"With coach Presnell, I have advanced farther, faster than I have with other coach that I've ever had before," he said. "And it's not for a lack for effort, it's that he really knows what he's doing."
It's a grind Young is wholeheartedly committed to. Apparently, the success is worth far more than the pain of preparation. Even after his initial romanticized views of what running would be like, he never questioned whether he'd stick with it.
"Why not?" he said.

text: content Recommendation #1: Life Extension Mix™ Now with an even more effective form of Selenium! Tweet Don't Die from a Deficiency An abundance of published scientific research reveals that many common problems afflicting the aged are attributable to a lack of specific nutrients in the diet. Considering that low-cost supplements are available to guard against these deficiency syndromes, it amounts to personal negligence if one does not at least take their basic daily vitamins and minerals. Few doctors are aware of how shockingly deficient Americans are in essential nutrients. We are not talking about the benefits of taking higher-potency vitamin supplements right now. Instead, we are down to the fundamental fact that the vast majority of Americans fail to obtain even the tiny amount of nutrients in their diets that the medical establishment itself says are needed. For example, over the past several years scientists have validated the critical role vitamin D plays in regulating a host of bodily functions. These findings link insufficient blood levels of vitamin D to common age-related problems. Startling evidence of this widespread vitamin D insufficiency has led to recommendations for Americans to increase their vitamin D intake to 5,000 IU per day and higher. While most multivitamin supplements contain only 400-600 IU of vitamin D, Life Extension has upped that to 2,000 IU in both the Life Extension Mix™ and Two-Per-Day formulas. Most Life Extension members also take a 5,000 IU softgel of vitamin D3 each day to achieve optimal blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which are between 50-80 ng/mL. A huge study was published in early 2013 in the prestigious American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It looked at blood levels of vitamin D (measured as 25-hydroxyvitamin D) in 9,949 people aged 50-74 for a median of 9.5 years. Compared to those with sufficient vitamin D levels, those who were deficient had a 71% higher rate of dying from any cause. Being vitamin D deficient was associated with a 42% greater risk of dying of cancer, 39% greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a 250% greater risk of dying from respiratory disease. This study documented the dangers of inadequate vitamin D intake, yet the vast majority of people fail to maintain optimal vitamin D blood levels, something that can be easily corrected with low-cost supplements. Epidemic Deficiency of Vitamin E Many Americans supplement with vitamin E to obtain antioxidant benefits from this particular nutrient. The federal government, however, says that only 15 mg of vitamin E (22.5 IU) (in the form of d-alpha tocopherol) are needed. The Journal of The American Dietetic Association says that 93% of American men and 96% of American women do not even consume the federal government's recommended 15 mg (22.5 IU) of vitamin E in their diets!1 This means that virtually all Americans who fail to supplement are at serious risk of suffering a vitamin E deficiency. How Dangerous Is It To Be Deficient In Vitamin E? In November of 2006, the largest study in medical history was published using blood levels of vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) as the marker of vitamin E status. The purpose of this study was to correlate baseline vitamin E levels with specific causes of death and overall mortality with a follow up over a19-year period. There were 29,092 subjects initially enrolled and 13,380 deaths available for analysis.2 The study results showed a significant reduction in overall mortality in the quintiles of highest blood levels of vitamin E compared to the lowest quintile. Based on these statistics, an editorial published in this same journal asked why doctors ever questioned the importance of vitamin E supplements.3 The editorial went on to emphasize the importance of obtaining the amount of vitamin E necessary. When analyzing fine details of this largest human study on vitamin E, the editors stated that the amount of this nutrient needed to achieve the optimal results could be achieved " only with supplements." Vitamin E Deficiency Accelerates Age-Related Decline In the January 2008 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the findings from a study that measured vitamin E levels in people 65 years and older was published. The results showed that those with the lowest blood levels of vitamin E were 60% more likely to suffer physical decline over the three-year follow-up period.4 The study's authors concluded: "These results provide empirical evidence that a low serum concentration of vitamin E is associated with subsequent decline in physical function among community-living older adults." What continues to be overlooked by doctors who make recommendations to the public is the critical need for those who supplement with the alpha tocopherol form of vitamin E to also take the gamma tocopherol form. Remarkable benefits have been observed with higher levels of alpha and gamma tocopherol in the body. Vitamin E Is Only One of Many Deficient Nutrients Sadly, most diets fail to provide even the minimum amounts of nutrients even according to the low government recommended daily intakes. As a result, Americans suffer egregious deficits of vital nutrients such as magnesium, potassium,5 vitamin B6, vitamin B56 and vitamin D.7 Fortunately, it is easy to obtain potent doses of these basic nutrients in multi-nutrient formulas.

As Parents Struggle to Repay College Loans for Their Children, Taxpayers Also Stand to Lose
New Department of Education data shows rising default rates on federal loans to parents.
You know that college students often graduate with massive amounts of debt. The lesser-told side of the story: overburdened parents.
As ProPublica's Marian Wang and The Chronicle of Higher Education's Beckie Supiano and Andrea Fuller reported last week, many parents are now taking out what are known as Parent Plus loans – a type of federal loan – to plug the gap between student aid and the soaring cost of attending college. Last year the government disbursed $10.6 billion in Parent Plus loans to just under a million families. That's $6.3 billion more than in 2000, adjusted for inflation, and to nearly twice as many borrowers.
But no checks are in place to ensure parents only take on debt they can afford. The government doesn't check applicants' income, employment status or other debt. Though a bad credit history is grounds for denial, someone could still get a loan with no credit history at all. And there's no set cap on borrowing.
Which brings up an interesting question: Who should be responsible for ensuring families only take on debt they can handle?
The Education Department says that it wants to make sure that college choice isn't just for the wealthy. That's why they make the loans easy to get.
Some schools list the Parent Plus loans in financial aid award letters, along with scholarships and student loans, to show how a student might come up with the money for tuition and other costs. Sometimes colleges suggest Parent Plus loans that add up to tens of thousands of dollars – without regard to whether families can afford it. Others simply provide information about the option.
Families often risk the financial strain, hoping the debt burden will be outweighed by the benefit to their children's lives and futures. Some parents might also bank on the education boosting their children into a high-paying job, which could help pay off the loans.
"This is one of those knives that cuts both ways," Craig Munier, director of scholarships and financial aid at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln told ProPublica. "If we leave a huge gap in the financial-aid package, families could reach the wrong conclusion that they cannot afford to send their children to this institution. The other side is we package in a loan they can't afford, and they make a bad judgment and put themselves into debt they can't manage. You can second-guess either decision."
The situation mimics many elements of the sub-prime mortgage crisis: easy access to loans, lenient underwriting, and naïve or reckless borrowing. You can read the full story here.
Some readers have already started to leave their opinions in the comments.
"I have to say I see this as a non-system issue. This has to do with someone who makes $25k a year taking out a $17k loan. I grew up not poor, but at the lower end of middle class. My father worked in construction, which provided a good income, but not steady work. Therefore, you budgeted, first come necessities, then savings, then splurges." – Joe P.
"I don't blame the folks who wind up borrowing Parent Plus money they can't afford anymore than I blame those who wound up with ARM mortgages they couldn't pay. Both situations involve emotional decisions, complicated forms and contracts, and very little objective counseling. Here's the thing you want more than anything and here's this expert (your government in both cases) saying "YES" you can have it…it's easy to see how folks are misled." – Kim Andrews
What do you think? Should the government create measures to prevent over-borrowing? Should schools counsel people on how much aid is too much? Or should individuals be entirely and solely responsible for their own college loan decisions?

New Department of Education data shows rising default rates on federal loans to parents.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced increased oversight of the companies that act as go-between for student borrowers and lenders.
Low-income students are being priced out of even public universities — due in part to how schools are using their financial aid. Join higher ed experts Thursday on Reddit to share your thoughts on how to keep college accessible.
Chasing prestige and battered by state funding cuts, many public colleges and universities with a historic responsibility to provide access to an affordable education have turned to "financial aid leveraging," offering wealthy or high-scoring students discounts on tuition.
As college debt soars, we're turning our attention to the business of higher education. We've created a Facebook group for students, graduates, families and industry professionals to connect.

Ice Balloons (ft. Kyp Malone of TVotR & Rob of Wild Yaks) on tour, playing DbA on Thursday (dates, videos & LP stream)
by Andrew Sacher
The first time I saw Ice Balloons, I thought they were way too off the wall to ever gain popularity outside of basement shows and Rubulad parties. But is that such a bad thing? This lurching, fuzzed-out act--fronted, naturally, by a half-man, half-fly creature--is just the thing to make you feel you've stepped into another dimension, especially when accompanied by B.A. Miale's trippy projections. [New York Observer - 'Best Bands of 2013']NYC's Ice Balloons count TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone and Wild Yaks' Rob Bryn as members (along with Sean Powell, Dan Scinta, Giselle Reiber, and B.A. Miale) and together they make a truly weird blend of psychedelic synths, art punk, noise, and other eccentric sounds. They're currently on the road for their first-ever tour with Kyp and Rob providing solo sets as support on select dates. The tour includes a NYC show on Thursday (3/13) at Death by Audio, and at that one, both Kyp and Rob will open. Likeminded Brooklyn trio Alien Trilogy are on the DbA bill as well. $7 at the door gets you in. All dates are listed below.
In 2013, they released their debut self-titled album, which you can stream, along with videos of two of its tracks, and the list of dates, below...

Higgins Waterproof Black Magic Band playing Baby's; Kelis signed to Ninja Tune for new Dave Sitek-produced LP
Higgins Waterproof Black Magic Band, the newish band of TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, did a Union Pool residency not too long ago, and they'll be playing another show in their hometown of NYC this Sunday (12/15) at Baby's All RIght with Endless Boogie. Tickets for that show are on sale now. Flyer below.
It's their only upcoming date at the moment, though Endless Boogie have other dates opening for Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks including MHOW on 2/27 (tickets).
Speaking of TV on the Radio, as discussed, member Dave Sitek is producing the new Kelis album, Food. That album was originally supposed to come out on Sitek's Federal Prism label this year, but it was just announced that she's instead releasing it on April 28 via her new label, Ninja Tune (!), a label mostly known for forward-thinking electronic music from Bonobo, Machinedrum, The Bug, and others. It's the first album that will not be on a major label for Kelis, who has had at least one major pop breakthrough. Kelis says of the signing:
I'm really happy to be partnering with Ninja Tune on my new record. This is the album I've wanted to make for a long time and I want the team around me to be as excited and energetic about it as I am. I'm also very happy to be working with some of the most creative people in the industry.And the people at Ninja Tune note:
Entirely produced by Dave Sitek (TV On The Radio), 'Food' is a soul record that's as raw and alternative as it is classic. In choosing Ninja as her new home, Kelis is another example of a world-class talent turning to the independent music world in order to work outside the constraints often put in place by major labels.In other Ninja Tune news, we just posted a live Machinedrum video and an upcoming Floating Points show.

TV on the Radio @ FYF 2013 (more by Wei Shi)
Having left Interscope back in the spring, the gears are clearly starting to move again for TV on the Radio who will now putting out music through guitarist Dave Sitek's Federal Prism label. They were just out in LA for the FYF Fest and have released a couple digital singles this summer, both of which have come with impressive videos. "Mercy" is probably the most immediate, driving rock song the band have done since the early days of "Wolf Like Me"; and "Million Miles" is more ethereally soulful. TVotR just performed "Mercy" last night on The Late Show with David Letterman last night (9/5) and you can watch that below.
The two tracks' respective videos are both productions of a MySpace project called Music Video Collaborations With Artists We Like. The funny, thoughtful one for "Million Miles" was co-directed by singer Tunde Adebimpe. They're both worth watching and you can do so below.
Meanwhile, you may remember that a Tunde Adebimpe side project, Higgins Waterproof Black Magic Band (with Ryan Sawyer on drums), opened for Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Union Pool last November. The band will release their debut EP on October first via their own ZNA label. You can listen to a track from that, "The Blast, The Bloom," below.

Death Grips /
Its really a sad state of affairs when a band making a scheduled appearance is news, but nevertheless it was somewhat of a surprise that Death Grips did make their headlining appearance (on the Miranda stage) at the first day of FYF Fest in LA on Saturday (8/24) while Yeah Yeah Yeahs played at the adjacent Carrie stage (yes, stages were named after Sex & The City characters). The two-day festival, which took place in LA State Historic Park over the weekend, also featured many other notables, including appearances from TV on the Radio, FLAG, a reunion set from The Locust, as well as sets from names like The Breeders, Waxahatchee, METZ, Joyce Manor, Ty Segall (who's in NYC for two shows this week), and more. Pictures from FYF including all of the mentioned artists above -- as well as shots of Jim Hamilton, Jonah Ray, Kumail Nanjiana, Crystal Antlers, Charles Bradley, Toro y Moi, Classixx, Nosaj Thing, comedians and more -- are in this post.
We'll have pictures from Day 2 soon. More pics from FYF Fest Day 1 below...

NYC indie rock mainstays Yeah Yeah Yeahs are still on the heels of an awesomely weird new album, Mosquito, for which they played a relatively intimate release show at Webster Hall, which followed two far more intimate benefit shows in the year or so prior at Union Pool and Brooklyn Bowl. (They also had a set at this year's Brooklyn festival GoogaMooga.) And they're now set to do the exact opposite of that.
Like NYC bands The National and Vampire Weekend before them, YYYs have announced that they'll headline new Brooklyn arena Barclays Center on September 19! Tickets for their largest hometown show yet

For those keeping score, your man Klaus has played drums in many many unpopular and unsignable bands since 1991. I've dragged my 1964 Ludwig Oyster Black Pearl 4 piece kit (2nd rack tom not shown) with 1965 Gretsch snare (all of which were purchased in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts for $175) from one end of the earth (the Northeast) to the other (the Midwest mostly) hundreds of times. 'Tis a gorgeous kit, in phenomenal condition, and I have endured hundreds if not millions of compliments regarding it's eye-watering beauty. I am a man who appreciates a nice set of drums. And I'm a man who appreciates a man who appreciates a nice set of drums.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs @ Union Pool, 12/8/2012
Yeah Yeah Yeahs teamed with Higgins Waterproof Blackmagic (a new side project from Tunde of TV on the Radio) and a DJ set from Creep at Union Pool last night (12/8). Yes, the room was absolutely minuscule for a band of the YYY's size, but the occasion was to help raise money for victims of Hurricane Sandy, specifically via Waves 4 Water (follow that link to donate if you can). The YYYs were a quartet for the evening, adding collaborator David Pajo to the mix on that rainy Saturday.
More pics from Union Pool are below, including one of the setlist (which included the new song "Despair" presumably from their forthcoming LP).

Sitek adds, "I told Trent I was starting my own label and would love to have him remix something on the first release. I sent him the session and before he actually said 'YES', he sent back this mighty dark space that he, Alessandro and Atticus had built for me! I was shocked and am certain I will have to keep ripping them off for years!"" It's on sale now.
Speaking of Trent Reznor, he says his his band How To Destroy Angels, have "formally partnered with Columbia Records for our next series of releases. The first of these will be available in November and it's called An Omen EP."

Bobby Womack, whose first new album in 18 years came out earlier this year, is performing a free show at the Apple's recently expanded and reopened SoHo Store on Tuesday (9/18). Making this a very special event are the album's producers -- Damon Albarn and XL Records exec Richard Russell -- who will be performing with Womack, along with Kwes, TV on the Radio's Jaleel Bunton, and Remi Kabaka. The short performance starts at 7 PM and will also feature a Q&A. It will be the first performance Womack will have played with this band. This announcement comes after Womack cancelled NYC shows a couple times over the summer due to illness.
If you can't make it to the Apple Store, Womack, Albarn and the rest of them will also be performing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Friday (9/21). You can check out reheasal footage of Womack with this all-star band from earlier in the week below.

Hardcore punk rockers Cerebal Ballsy performed Saturday with a ferocity that commanded the seemingly peaceful crowd into a mosh pit. Later in the evening, the atmosphere switched into a groovy hipster paradise for all to enjoy as Erykah Badu jammed. The next day, Janelle Monae put on a performance with enough energy to power Manhattan. The performers were awesome - all of them - but they were merely a reflection of the movement known as Afropunk and the people of it.Here's another set of photos from Day 2 of the 2012 Afro Punk Fest which featured a ton of great music -- all for free -- not to mention skateboarding and BMX competitions.
The crowd was multi-everything - multi-cultural, multi-colored, multi-faceted, and multi-fashioned. - [Allhiphip.com]
Our first set of Day 2 pictures is here, and you can see pics from Day 1 here and here. More pics from Day 2 are below.

Janelle Monáe / TV on the Radio / Pharrell at Afro-Punk Fest 8/26/2012
Slamming together categories -- and, when appropriate, bodies -- is the ever-expanding mission of the annual Afro-Punk Festival, which returned last weekend to Commodore Barry Park in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.Day 2 (8/26) of the 2012 Afro-Punk Fest was an incredibly stacked line-up, with TV on the Radio, Janelle Monáe (who was introduced by Pharrell Williams), Reggie Watts and Toro Y Moi just to name a few. Pictures from Sunday are in this post. Pictures of Day 1 (8/25) are here and here.
It was an event summed up in action by one of its returning headliners, Janelle Monáe. She's an indefatigable song-and-dance bandleader who gleefully draws on African-American showmen like Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown and even Cab Calloway as her lyrics dip into science fiction. Her finale, "Come Alive (War of the Roses)," had a jitterbug-ready beat while Ms. Monáe crowd-surfed like a punk-rocker: off the stage, into the audience and back onstage for a few more snappy steps. - [NY Times]

Unlike most rotational puzzles, the starting position is not a solid color on each face; the goal of this puzzle is to make it so that there is only one of each color on every face, vertical line, and horizontal line.
The Sudoku Ball Cube is manufactured by Meffert's Rotational Puzzles. Uwe Meffert, born in Wernigerode, Germany, not only manufactures the puzzles, but has designed many of his own puzzles as well.

I have been working at Office Depot part-time for more than 3 years
Pros – For a retail sales associate position, my pay was adequate. Under the company's current policies, though it is very rare that sales associates become eligible to earn commission, when we do, it is a nice bonus.
Cons – Office Depot's new customer service program known as "ISCE" is nothing more than a dog and pony show for upper level managers to listen to in the store parking lot. (ISCE requires unnecessary radio communication, and hinders the associate's ability to focus on the customer.) While ISCE brought about some good ideas, the execution was very poor...
The company's problem resolution process is also completely broken. If you have an issue with your manager, there is nothing in place to prevent them from retaliating against you if you dare report their illegal behavior. I personally witnessed a pregnant employee get harassed each day she came to work, when she reported the behavior, they terminated her before the management could be punished.
I've worked for the same store for 4 years, and I have never seen a single internal promotion. Management frequently gets shuffled around making it difficult to develop steady working relationships.
Advice to Senior Management – Lets stop playing games with the radios, and lets get back to doing what we used to de best: Taking Care of Business. Also, promote from within!

Opera 9.62 Closes Security Holes
Norwegian provider Opera Software is releasing almost weekly security updates for its Opera browser. Version 9.62 is to address what the company deems two of its most critical security problems.
Opera Software found that its browser was subject to cross-site scripting attacks due to a bug in the links panel (see the advisory).
Another security breach designated as even more severe targeted the history search function. Passing certain parameters to the function could allow scripts executing arbitrary code to be injected into the search results page (see the advisory). Users are warned that if they opened public demonstrations of this issue, they could have altered certain Opera settings and that these settings need to be restored manually. Upgrading to 9.62 does not repair these settings.
The update to 9.62 is recommended for all Opera browser platforms (Linux, Windows and Mac OS X among them). Next to the security patches, the release also provides the Presto 2.1.1 rendering engine. Various download locations for the popular platforms are available.

Recession schmecession. You'd never know there are people hurting financially in this country if you were to just look at the spending habits of the Tooth Fairy.
That's because despite a rise in interest rates andnot in most paychecks, the Tooth Fairy is rewarding kids for losing their teeth - a whopping 23 percent more than she did in 2012.
According to an annual survey from Visa Inc., the average tooth is now worth $3.70 under the pillow, which is up from $3 last year. They figure that based on the rate of return, kids can squirrel away $74 for their full set of baby teeth.
Visa Inc. surveyed 3,000 people by telephone in July and found that kids in the Northeast fare the best for their chompers, getting an average of $4.10 per tooth. Kids West and South receive $3.70 and $3.60 respectively. The piggy banks of Midwestern children are getting the short end of the Tooth Fairy's wand, raking in just $3.30 per tooth.
Related: 10 things I did as a child that kids today would NEVER do
Still, a whopping 10 percent of all kids get in excess of $5 per tooth, which is more than three times as in 2011. On the opposite end of the spectrum, 36 percent of those surveyed said the Tooth Fairy wasn't even coughing up $1.
In general, the Tooth Fairy will manage to visit 90 percent of U.S. households with young children this year, which is up 6 percent from 2012. Nat Sillin, who is Visa's head of U.S. Financial Education, says the parents of those newly wealthy children should seize the moment and guide their kids wisely about how to handle their money.
"The Tooth Fairy is throwing money around like pixie dust," according to Sillin. "While more money is exciting news for children, parents should take this opportunity to talk saving and smart money habits with their kids and have the same talk with a perhaps overgenerous Tooth Fairy."
For parents struggling with an amount to recommend to the Tooth Fairy per molar and canine, there's an app for that, which suggests an amount for each family based on location, the parent's age, education level, and annual income.

VIDEO: Cast your vote in the Pride of Swindon Awards (From This Is Wiltshire)
VIDEO: Cast your vote in the Pride of Swindon Awards
5:30am Tuesday 3rd December 2013 in News By Elizabeth Mackley
NOMINATIONS were invited at the launch of the the Pride of Swindon 2014 awards yesterday.
Next year marks the sixth year that the awards have taken place, recognising those children and adults who have gone above and beyond to support their local communities.
Residents now have until February 3, 2014 to nominate an individual or group who they think has made a significant difference to their communities.
This year, the judges are urging nominations to make clear exactly why someone deserves the award.
Richard Crowley is the chairman of the charity CALM (Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Movement), which won an award and a £1,000 grant last year.
He said: "We were nominated by Rex Barnett and we were one of his charities during his Mayoral year – he did a lot of fundraising for us.
"He raised the most we have received, in the region of £15,000 to £20,000, so to win the award and be photographed with him was quite special."
Anyone who has made a significant contribution to their community could be nominated, including a volunteer who has given their time selflessly for years, a child or adult who has displayed remarkable courage, a person who has helped to reduce crime in the area or someone who has helped at a sports club. A young person who should be recognised as a role model could also be a recipient, as well as an extra-special neighbour or an employee who has gone the extra mile in their role, including police officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses and teachers.
People can also nominate someone for a posthumous award, for example town crier Fred Ferris, who died last week after years of work for his community.
Swindon Mayor, Coun Nick Martin, said: "I think life is about not just doing good things, it's also about rewarding people who do good things.
"The Pride of Swindon Awards is a fantastic way of recognising people for the good things they do."
To nominate someone who has made a difference to your community for the Pride of Swindon Awards, follow this link to the nomination form: http://www.swindon.gov.uk/cd/Council%20and%20Democracy%20Document%20Library/Form%20-%20Pride%20of%20Swindon%202014%20Nomination.pdf
Forms will also be available in libraries throughout the town, or from the Mayor's Office.
Send your entry to: The Pride Of Swindon Awards, Mayor's Office, Civic Offices, Euclid Street, Swindon SN1 2JH or email email@example.com.

You have hardly seen me on the forum this month. I thought it would be good to let you know why.
One of the reasons is that it has been very busy at work. I have been working more hours a day and than there remains just very little spare time.
Another reason is that my computer is having serious problems. At first it was just with the internet, but now I cannot use my computer at all. My computer is in repair and hopefully I will have it back soon. For the time being I will have to use my mobile or a computer when visiting friends. Making digital scraps is out of the question at the moment
I proudly help create for: Bee creations, Ilonka's Scrapbook designs, JuliEnriquez Designs, K designs, kittyscrap , Lady R designs, Le petit Scrap, lins creations, mellye creations, S designs, Sarayane, Scrap'Angie, Star song studio, E-scape and scrap store
